2003 Focus SVT. I loved driving it, but at 137k miles, it was starting to fall apart, and parts were tough to find and/or expensive.

Regards,
Tom

1998 Subaru Forester. I loved that car for many years, but my mechanic politely suggested that I was beginning to spend more on repairs than the car was worth. If the Fit serves me as well as the Forester, I will be a very happy camper. It's interesting that my criteria for a new car changed very little over the years --- reliable, good gas mileage, cargo capacity, and fun to drive. The only difference is that my definition of good gas mileage changed a lot over 13 years. Gas was around $1/gallon when I bought the Forester.

I had been driving a 740iL BMW but that only came to be after I had my ’90 CRXsi stolen and stripped.

Really happy to have another Honda again.

2003 Honda Element EX 4wd. Never cared enough to take pics lol

First and last SUV I will ever own, I had a fun car as well at the time to get rid of any spirited driving urges, I just can't stand driving a lumbering brick around on a daily basis.

Was a great car and very USEFUL (I miss it's utility) but not worth feeling so "ho-hum" every time I went to work.

'91 Accord Wagon, with 300k miles. It was great as my first car, and only left me at the side of the road on my days off lol. After driving it for a year we pretty much worked out all the kinks, but I could finally afford the Fit I had been dreaming of. My favorite part had to be the color, it's a lovely teal green.

I assume you had the auto transmission. I just came from a 2007 element SC manual transmission.... Decent car to drive. Real peppy. The fit is a downgrade in the torque department, but better in most other ways. I hated those clamshell doors, especially while trying to get a baby seat out of it many times a day, or in a crowded parking lot. 34mpg is way better than the 22 I got in the E

Yes, auto transmission. Drove like and had as much body roll as a tugboat. I also had to deal with the clamshell door and carseats! SUPER PITA. The only thing that was nice was that there was enough room in the back the kids couldn't kick my seat

I'm not a fan of big vehicles anyway, I just thought i'd give the E a shot. Decent car but won't get one again, it's just not me.
